HHonors Q4 Promo: Any Guesses?

Has anyone gotten wind of when the HHonors Q promo might start (started Nov 1 last year) and what might be offered? Since Q3 2013 promo was identical to Q3 2012 promo, my guess is that Q4 2013 promo will also copy last year's Q4 promo: 1000 HH points a night from Thursday to Monday.

Please chime in with your guess until the official announcement, which can be posted here as soon as it is out to avoid creating a new thread...

**Edited post to provide this link upfront:
I have found a link to a cached pre-promo of the HHonors Q4 Promo

There is lot of info about HH Q4 promo... it will be “More Nights, More Points,” and run from October 10, 2013, to January 31, 2014. The promotion is pretty straightforward — you earn double base points for stays of two nights, triple base points for stays of three nights, and quadruple base points for stays of four or more nights. There is no official registration page yet...

It is probably best promotion for 2013, as you can get up to 60-70 points per USD... (4 night; 10 base, 30 promotion, 5 Diamond, 5 Double-dip, 10 (2x points) specific hotel rates, 10 or more credit card)...

No problem, maybe another place cached the pre-promo. I will Google it.

In the mean time, I am curious: Could you be clear about the meaning base points in this: "...earn double base points for stays of two nights, triple base points for stays of three nights, and quadruple base points for stays of four or more nights."?

I suspect that you meant bonus points on base points and not base points, because that would make everyone an elite on the basis of base points!

This is a great a promo for top HHonors elites who book stays of 4 nights or more.
My 9-night stay at Hilton Singapore in November will cost, before incidentals, US$2,650. The haul from that with this promo will be at least 165,000 HH points.

Yep, don't disagree, leaves the "one night" crowd out in the cold. Such is life.

Anyone know if this will stack with the United 1k miles / night at Conrad, Waldorf Astoria? And if so, can I keep points+points switched on instead of switching to points+fixed/variable (I already have UA as my preferred double dip partner)? It would be great to take advantage of points+points with the Q4 promotion as well as getting 1k / night to United since all my upcoming business stays will be at those 2 brands !

I am pretty sure that one will get the Q4 promo points along with the UA miles for the Conrad/W=A promo regardless of one's double-dipping setting, because there is a precedent. The Q2 promo was concurrent with another UA miles promo and I got both the 50% bonus points for points+points double-dipping AND the miles.

Last week I stayed at the Embassy Suites, San Antonio Riverwalk. It was my first stay at a Hilton property. Did a status match to Silver. Earned enough points for 2 nights at a Hampton. Not a bad promotion.

I also did have reward stays at Waldorf Astoria Shanghai, Conrad Bangkok, and Conrad Hong Kong for which I got points on incidentals, as well as bonus points from the Q4 promo, which accounted for about 50% of the total haul. As a result, I now have 243,924 HHonors points in the bank, after depleting it at the end of last year, and it is just February, with lots stays planned for the year!

Not a bad promo at all, especially for extended stays at high-end properties...
